Definitions
- the present invention relates to distributed computing environments, and more particularly to improved methods for managing deployment of software in distributed computing environments.
- a software product must be deployed in a distributed computing environment wherein components of the software product are located in different locations and must work in concert over a network.
- Another problem with the approach above is that it does not provide adequate information on how various components of a software product can be divided or distributed when the product is deployed in a distributed computing environment.
- Various relationships and dependences exist between components of a software product, and the manner in which a software product is divided or parsed in a distributed computing environment depends on those relationships and dependences.
- the deployment engineer or technician responsible for deploying a software product in a distributed computing environment often does not have the necessary knowledge of the relationships and dependences that exist between components of a software product so as to effectuate such a deployment. As such, this produces problems during deployment, maintenance and further development of the software product.
